- Synopsis
- A biography of the Scottish leader by an author with &“an excellent eye for political detail&” (Scotland on Sunday). Nicola Sturgeon became involved in politics as a teenager, and then began a law career in Glasgow. She would go on to become Scotland&’s youngest parliamentary candidate in 1992, in her early twenties. Considered a rising star, she eventually reached the pinnacle of Scottish government as First Minister and leader of the Scottish National Party—the party she&’d joined at the age of sixteen. This book explores her reputation for efficiency and shrewd political judgment, her family life, and her role in the country&’s turbulent recent years with the campaign for Scottish independence from the United Kingdom and the Brexit vote. It is a portrait of a fascinating woman as well as an &“illuminating appraisal&” of her impressive career (Spectator).
